Second docking effort for Russian spacecraft planned for Monday night

On Saturday, August 24, met with NASA's International Space Station managers and international partners, as plans were to approve a second spectacular and docking effort for the unilateral Soyuz MS-14 spacecraft to be held on Monday August 26.

The same Soyuz's initial docking effort was terminated, as Russian officials say, that the posk module docking port of the automatic resize system was a suspected problem. A solid telemetry lock could not be achieved on that docking port through the dosing system. The same unplugged Soyuz is currently orbiting a safe distance from the ISS to make all of its systems function normally.

A second docking effort will be made for Soyuz at 10:12 pm on Monday night. Central time, 11:12 am. NASA TV coverage of the docking will begin at 9:30 pm on Monday night.Central time, 10:30 am.On 20 July and a manual docking for the Poisk module by Undock and Soyuz Commander Skovartsov for a 25-minute Soyuz relocation maneuver.The cursive suspect unit for Posk is not a factor of relocation maneuver by the unit component Skovartovsiev and his Soyuz crewmate.NASA TV coverage of NASA's transfer will begin at 10 pm on Sunday night.Central time, 11 o'clock at night.Eastern Time. The time of the Sveuse MS-13 spacecraft from Zvezda is scheduled at 10:34 am.Central time, 11:34 am. Eastern Time Central Time, 11:59 pm Eastern Time with a scheduled time at 10:59 pm Pusink.

This will be the first Soyuz transfer since August 2015, when Gnady Padalka and Mikhail Kornienko of Roskosmos and Scott Kelly of NASA performed a similar operation. Unplotted on Tuesday night after a four-week stay at the station, Soyuz's docking SpaceX will preserve the Dragon Cargo Craft's robot release, and the dragon will be dropped into the Pacific Ocean several hours later for a parachute-assisted splash.

NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Reveals New Details of the Orion Nebula’s Star Formation.

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image captures the Orion Nebula (Messier 42, M42), the nearest star-forming region to Earth, located about 1,500 light-years away. A captivating new image captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope offers an extraordinary look into the Orion Nebula, the nearest massive star-forming region to Earth. Located just 1,500 light-years away, this nebula is visible to the naked eye below the three stars forming Orion's "belt." The region is home to hundreds of newborn stars, including two protostars featured in the image: HOPS 150 and HOPS 153. Named after the Herschel Orion Protostar Survey, conducted with ESA’s Herschel Space Observatory, the protostars HOPS 150 and HOPS 153 provide key insights into the early stages of star formation. HOPS 150, visible in the upper-right corner of the image, is a binary star system, with two young stars orbiting one another. These protostars are surrounded by small dusty disks, where material from th...

New Method Detects Small Asteroids in Main Belt, Offering Insight for Planetary Defense.

An international team of physicists, led by MIT researchers, has developed a groundbreaking method to detect small asteroids, as small as 10 meters in diameter, within the main asteroid belt. These space rocks, ranging from the size of a bus to several stadiums wide, were previously undetectable using traditional methods. The team's discovery, detailed in a paper published in Nature, could significantly improve tracking of potential asteroid impactors, aiding planetary defense efforts. The main asteroid belt, located between Mars and Jupiter, is home to millions of asteroids, but until now, scientists could only detect objects roughly a kilometer in diameter. The new detection technique, which utilizes the "shift and stack" method, is able to identify much smaller asteroids, even those far from Earth, enabling more precise orbital tracking. This breakthrough is crucial for planetary defense, allowing scientists to spot near-Earth objects that may pose a threat in the fu...

XSPECT Payload Successfully Validates Performance through Cas A Observation.

The XSPECT instrument captures a detailed spectrum of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A), encompassing both the Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) background and the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB). The flux observed above 8 keV predominantly results from the combined contributions of CXB and GCR. The presented spectrum, depicted in the figure, is derived from a cumulative integration time of 20 ksec, collected across multiple orbits, providing valuable insights into the X-ray emissions associated with Cas A. XPoSat, India's inaugural X-ray polarimetric mission, has achieved a significant as the XSPECT instrument captures its initial observations from the Cassiopeia A (Cas A) supernova remnant. Launched on January 1, 2024, XPoSat is equipped with two co-aligned instruments, namely the POLarimeter Instrument in X-rays (POLIX) and X-ray SPECtroscopy and Timing (XSPECT). This mission is designed to unravel the mysteries of cosmic X-ray sources. While POLIX focuses on examining X-ray po...
